I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

Body Collection Pink Fizz

This is another of those Body Collection polishes from the Crystal Suede collection. It's called Pink Fizz but I'd say it's more lilac than pink!

All artificial light.



This is easy to use and easy to apply. It's quick drying and lasted well. It does look lilac yeah? Quite sparkly too.

Beauty UK Turquoise Shimmer

Seem to be on a green hit at the moment!
All natural light.




This is easy to use, easy to apply and the brush is good. Be warned though, you need plenty on the brush! It's slow drying but lasted well. It has a subtle sparkle to it!

Kleancolor 136 Holo Green

I put this on top of Deborah Lippmann Almost Paradise. It's green and sparkly.


Artificial light.


Natural light.



This is easy to use, easy to apply and has a good brush. It's very slow drying though. Quite sparkly in the sun and looks good on top of the Lippmann.

W7 Lava Flow

I've been on a W7 hit recently and this is one of the newer ones.

All natural light.





At first I thought this was white with red and blue glitter, but upon closer inspection, it's black lol.

This is easy to use, easy to apply and the brush is excellent. It's certainly quick drying and lasted well for sure! Think it might look better on top of a white?

Avon Very Violet

One of the new Avon polishes. I had ordered Violet Freeze but got this instead, I reckon it must be the same one? Anyone got any more info on this? It's gorgeous anyway!


Natural light.




Artificial light.
This is easy to use, easy to apply and very quick drying! It's very weak so needed at least 3 coats. When painting the nails, you need to make sure you keep plenty on the brush for easy application. It's a lovely purple colour with a pretty shimmer. Lasted well.

All About Nails Sorbet

This is another of those great quality, cheap polishes from Tesco. I'm always on the hunt for new ones from this range! 99p an absolute bargain! Yellow time.


All natural light.



Pretty in the sunshine!

This is fairly easy to use. 1st coat is streaky but the 2nd is fine. It's certainly quick drying and has a shiny shimmery effect! Lasted well for sure.
